Discussing prayer life, spiritual renewal and the Catholic need to go on retreat. Catholic spirituality is like body-building, or other exercise. It's hard work, and improvement happens over time. Sometimes you get thrown a curveball, because you suffer a sprain, or some other complication stops you in your tracks. But never give up, Catholics!

To live the Truth, we must put it into practice, and we must champion the Truth in a world that has declared war against it, in favor of lies. A lot of people try to reinvent Truth. They use teamwork to force fantasy onto reality. As Father Dugandzic says, the Devil's main power is the power to deceive, and many people in the world today are deceived by lies cleverly disguised as truth. What is the role of the Church, and of individual Catholics in restoring Truth to the world?

New Media is the modern avenue of evangelization. As a Church, we are tasked with communication, yet we seem to be poor at getting the word out. The new media makes it easier than ever and yet so few take advantage of it. How can Catholics bring technology to bear for the glory of God and of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Saint, bishop, and jolly ol' heretic-slapper. We're talking about [the real] St. Nicholas! Fr. Dugandzic talks about the facts and reality of this saint who is often shrouded in mystery, myth, and legend (#Santa). We also talk about the early history of confession—and it may surprise you!

The Catholic Church is our "other mother". She is our wise and tender teacher. She is the bride of our Lord Jesus Christ. She nourishes our souls with the sacraments. The Church calls us to God, as a mother calls her children to their father.

So what happened to Advent? It seems missing from many Catholic homes, and missing from the experience of many Catholics. It's been replaced by Premature-Christmas. Fr. Dugandzic talks about it

Talking about Judgement, Heaven and Hell, and praying for the souls in Purgatory.
